Did it occur to anybody that most people who die these days do not die from age related diseases, but from violence? A mugging in a street corner; a shooting in a school; a bomb in a motor park; a kid left in a hot car on a hot day; stuff like that. What can these technology do about this?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c1602d6da811fe782dc4feBernard KitchenSat, 12 Jul 2014 12:19:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c1602d6da811fe782dc4fe
I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ALLOWING DRONES OF ANY SCOPE INTO THE HANDS OF GENERAL PUBLIC. I SAY THIS BECAUSE, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SOME OF HUMAN KIND WOULDN'T HESITATE TO USE IT FOR MALICIOUS INTENT. THERE IS ENOUGH INFORMATION ON OUR COMPUTORS TO ENABLE THOSE THAT WANTED TO, TO LOAD ONE UP FOR PURPOSES OF DESTRUCTION TO SOMEONE OR PEOPLES. I THINK THERE IS ENOUGH CRAZIES OUT THERE THAT WOULDN'T HESITATE! JUST MY THOUGHTS,THANK YOU.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c1342b6bb3f71c64eaa193john.becker.3133719Sat, 12 Jul 2014 09:12:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c1342b6bb3f71c64eaa193
I wonder where this idea to live forever comes from. Who really wants to live 500 years. Nothing against reducing the speed of ageing or illness. What is so attractive to live long?
If they realise a long life will they also put a 'terminate button' on?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c05c5969bedde56da62df2tradeking13Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:51:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c05c5969bedde56da62df2
Someone's been watching too much Science Channel.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c02be3ecad04670763f3e3Bill JoonusFri, 11 Jul 2014 14:24:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53c02be3ecad04670763f3e3
Hate to break it to ya but 120 is all you get as per your creator:
"And YAHWEH said, My Spirit shall not always strive with mankind; in their going astray he is flesh. And his days shall be a hundred and twenty years." Genesis 6:3
Now if you reject your creators words and think you can do it with science, that is a whole different story.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bff1b8ecad04270b63f3e1Danny MFri, 11 Jul 2014 10:16:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bff1b8ecad04270b63f3e1
When only the rich has access to this, it's gonna be baaaad news.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bfee3ceab8ea6c1b78d759euroFri, 11 Jul 2014 10:01:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bfee3ceab8ea6c1b78d759
What if Humanity doesn't grow up mentally before extending life to 800 years? Imagine , first it will be expensive and only for the "1%" - talk of the revolution that it would spark in the streets!!! Then, what happens to human reproduction if everyone lives 800 years? Can Earth feed 70 billion people? If not, who is going to accept to never have the joy of a child to bring up? Will it be decided by lottery or by the authorities? Or will we become even more selfish than now (and that's not little saying) and spontaneously renounce to have kids?
Living 800yrs might be useful for space pioneers , who'd embark on ships and travel several centuries to populate extra-solar planets, why not.
But, to live "forever"? First, few will believe that it will be really forever, for religious reasons. Second, if the people's brains don't become much wiser and clever, it's the best way to become horribly mad - some people are bored alread at the age of 70, so what will they do for the other 700 years? Would you live in Manhattan and read B.I every morning for 700 years? Not to mention economic problems related to give jobs to everyone etc...
In any case, sensitive topic.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bfed2d69bedd941078d754MrPeabodyFri, 11 Jul 2014 09:57:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53bfed2d69bedd941078d754
You already do live forever, but not in the same body.
